The Address

Since December 1, 2025, general mail for Essex goes to the Pigeonly Corrections processing center, not to Newark:

[Inmate Name] - [Booking Number]
Essex County DOC - 2200
PO Box 96777
Las Vegas, NV 89193

Letters are scanned, and a color copy is printed for the person. Originals are stored for a time and then destroyed.

Photos and Cards

  • 4 x 6 photos, up to 10 per envelope. No Polaroids, no prints from third-party photo vendors.
  • Greeting cards and postcards up to 5 x 7.
  • No limit on the number of letters.

What Gets Refused

Glitter, stickers, staples, colored ink on the envelope, cash, stamps and blank stationery.

Legal mail goes straight to 354 Doremus Ave; attorneys register at privileged.pigeonlycorrections.com. Softcover books, magazines and newspapers come directly from the publisher or a bookstore, to Newark.

Skipping the Las Vegas Transit

A letter posted to PO Box 96777 travels 3 to 5 business days to the processing center before it is even scanned. Sent through Pigeonly, a letter or photos start at the processing center, so that wait drops out.
